Long-read genome assemblies reveal a cis-regulatory landscape associated with phenotypic divergence in two sister Siniperca fish species

Due to the difficulty in accurately identifying structural variants(SVs)across genomes,their impact on cis-regulatory divergence of closely related species,especially fish,remains to be explored.Recently identified broad H3K4me3 domains are essential for the regulation of genes involved in several biologica-processes.However,the role of broad H3K4me3 domains in phenotypic divergence remains poorly understood.Siniperca chuatsi and S.scherzeri are closely related but divergent in severa-phenotypic traits,making them an ideal model to study cis-regulatory evo-ution in sister species.Here,we generated chromosome-leve-genomes of S.chuatsi and S.scherzeri,with assembled genome sizes of 716.35 and 740.54 Mb,respectively.The evo-utionary histories of S.chuatsi and S.scherzeri were studied by inferring dynamic changes in ancestra-population sizes.To explore the genetic basis of adaptation in S.chuatsi and S.scherzeri,we performed gene family expansion and contraction analysis and identified positively se-ected genes(PSGs).To investigate the role of SVs in cis-regulatory divergence of closely re-ated fish species,we identified high-quality SVs as well as divergent H3K27ac and H3K4me3 domains in the genomes of S.chuatsi and S.scherzeri.Integrated analysis revealed that cis-regulatory divergence caused by SVs played an essential role in phenotypic divergence between S.chuatsi and S.scherzeri.Additionally,divergent broad H3K4me3 domains were mostly associated with cancer-related genes in S.chuatsi and S.scherzeri and contributed to their phenotypic divergence.
